Boxing or UFC is a type of sport that is very fun to watch and has lots of fans in this one sport.
But for us as bettors, we need to know that Boxing or UFC when in the main battle is very difficult to predict because all the final results cannot be calculated before the fight starts. In fact, unexpected winning results often occur.
When we bet, maybe research to make predictions can provide a little opportunity, but the research we will use is just a past experience and will be much different when the battle in the octagon takes place.

Sports pages in social media platforms would be enough such as ESPN and NBA. They are always giving updates regarding news related to most of the sports. Also, if it is boxing, you may follow your biased foghters to know more of them if you really want to be that updated 'coz for sure you won't be betting to all foghts, you'd be choosing only those you would want to. In terms of basketball, NBA is now on playoffs therefore teams would be limited only to a specific number wherein you can follow as well their page franchise to be updated. Bottomline is, social media platform is a wide space and is providing more updates than with the TV nowadays. Only choose those who has credentials to acoid misinformations.

I am not an expert at it but if you ask me what I would do is I search online about it and compare it to other information I found on the internet. There are some people who share videos about the fights and you can watch it for free if you can't afford a subscription. There are websites you can search that lets you check the fighters record like loses, wins and draw including knockout records. It is the same as reading something that makes you knowledgeable about its content.

in my opinion the best way for you to learn how everything works is to do the following:

start reading and posting in the ce UFC and Boxing sections, because when you read some member posts in this section you will be curious to google the fighters they are talking about and how every day you are reading comments about various fights and fighters and always research to find out more about the subject being discussed so you start to gain a lot of knowledge about UFC and Boxing, please note that it is not advisable to place a bet based on someone else's prediction, you should read the comments for acquire knowledge

now about the betting part, betting on a game is not easy and in each sport there is a basic and common way to do analysis which consists of analyzing the last 5 fights or 5 last games or 5 last race if it is a car race like F1 for For example, in the case of UFC and Boxing, you can watch several videos of the two fighters in their last 5 fights, you can read predictions on websites, read comments on YouTube, so you start to have an idea of who to bet on, of course there are also many markets within a game as well as in a fight when the person is going to place a bet, you have to do research to find out whether to bet that fighter X will win or bet on knockout in the 1st round, in the end it will depend on your analysis

In addition to watching boxing and UFC matches, you can also read news about these sports. Reading about these sports can give you a deeper understanding of the rules, business, and fixtures of the game. It might also be a good idea to subscribe to online news on these sports. It is your interest and commitment to learning about these sports that will determine how in-depth your knowledge and understanding of the game will be.

I checked out the website and it is free. I have always thought that it was impossible to have access to such a well-organized entertainment service without paying. I have seen some that advertised that their services are free only to find out later that it was just a marketing strategy. Thank you @Lucius

PPV subscription is expensive for many people, so my assumption small gamblers who bet on boxing or UFC are watching from other people shared in social media e.g. facebook or twitter, though this is illegal lol. I do know usually DAZN will give an up to date boxing match in each round and they also try give their own scorecard, but I don't really know with UFC.

Maybe many gamblers are watching the replay rather than watch the live.

Not specifically for UFC or Boxing, but just in general. Just watch, and keep watching. If you think you've seen enough, go watch some more. Interest in sports come from seeing it once, knowledge of it comes from watching it a LOT of times imo. You don't even need to be able to participate or play it, just watching should be more than enough, just that it's going to take a LOT of watching imo. As for news about a specific sport, well, that comes from where you really want to get to know about them, I'd say find your own really so that it can suite your actual needs. You don't need a satellite dish to be able to get latest news, having access to the internet is more than good enough imo.

The buttom line is interest and passion like I have said earlier. In your case if you had not developed interest you wouldn't have moved out to better your viewing experience and knowledge on the games to better your gambling. Most gamblers I know don't have any of the luxury of staying at home to watch and bet whether soccer or boxing matches, they go out to gambling houses, hangout at bars or drinking places and visit sites to get a better analysis from even other people, I'm talking about real and chronic gamblers and not spontaneous gambling.

So interest is important because it is what sustains a gambler to continue after losing and of course the reason a gambler continues to play apart from chasing his losses is interest.

It is funny because DSTV is only available to African countries.

What I know is that it is what you know that you will want to gamble with, gamblers have that mentality. But actually it is not like that because gamblers that do not use to watch certain sport may still be able to learn from gambling site and prediction sites. I think a year of checking the gambling sites and predictions sites and using only the money you can afford to learn with and not bothering about losing will all be exciting.

Use just little amount of money to gamble and have the fun. Avoid addiction.

I think yes!
Depending on how he takes it serious, actually I wasn't good in sports most especially football but sometimes I began to develop interest  what do I do at this point?
I noticed I can't be going out of my house to seat out there watching matches and learning how those matches are being played all I did was to go get Gotv and install in my house thinking that would be the best, after few months a friend of mine came in and said you need to upgrade to DStv for me to be carrying all matches along that gotv only Carry's some highlights and few matches. At this point what do I do, I went out go get a DStv dish and installed presently now I watches most of the live matches and I understand more better than the way it was. I can bet and place my favorite team to win or not.

I know of one option that is completely free and that offers online channels where you can follow the world of martial arts. There is an app for smartphones, but also for Android/Smart TV, although the program offer varies from country to country. If you are wondering how it is possible to watch something for free, the key is in advertisements, something similar to what exists on YT.

Interest is what will put you through. Whatever we want to achieve, we must have interest to pursue it and it is the passion we have that will help us to sustain it when it becomes difficult for us to achieve that dream we evisage. Gambling is not easy to win in it. Therefore you need interest and passion first.



Not really. Most gamblers in football and boxing don't own DStv or satellite dish to play. It is interest that drives one to game houses to pay a token and watch some games.


These days anything you want is found on the internet, build the interest of reading and searching online about whatever game you want and boxing are provided for you with pictures which makes the story easily assimilated. So with interest, little information from different research source on the internet you can ask your relatives and friends on more knowledge. You also have to visit game houses, keep friends with gamblers. They say " birds of a feather flock together"

You can be watching some boxing matches. Although not that necessary if you really want to like it, start from checking odds, lowers odds are given to better boxers and be consistent in checking the winners in the gambling site which I think is enough if you are consistent with that.


After some times have passed, you will have experience and you will be able to know the better boxer to bet on.

Very important to be checking some site statistics and analysis and predictiona too, it will help.

Subscribe on sports outlet like ESPN and Yahoo sports so that you will notified if there’s news about upcoming matches. Or simply just check regularly the gambling discussion board since users here usually create topic once there’s upcoming interesting match.


The secret on betting with this kind of sports is the consistency on watching and analyzing the fighter that you want to bet. This sports is physical and the result can be overturned in a split second with one lucky punch/kick.

I only bet on fighter that I know very the fighting skills. It’s very hard to become updated to all the fighters. Concentrating on your favorite fighter will make analysis easier for you. You can bet on your fighter or bet on the opponent if you knew exactly his skills. You can easily predict if he is in advantage or disadvantage. Just bet using your brain and by your heart. Being biased will give you a problem on choosing the right pick since this is a physical sports.

I see your passion for Boxing is gradually growing but you can't start instantly to place bet about them since you have little knowledge about that area of sport. Even in esport betting (football) you didn't just start a day before jumping into it, at least you developed time for it by constantly watching football and matches before you know some popular teams to bet or not to bet, my best advise is that you should get DStv dish installed and subscribe to those channels, maybe within just 3 to 9 months you would understand how it works because even though you being told how to bet it i don't think all things would be capture since is not something you started from the onset. I think there are other threads that says about boxing you can develop interest by reading them here.

I start developing an interest in Boxing and UFC matches when I visited a relative, he is so into these types of sports and he seems to know a lot about it, by I have to keep myself from asking him what and what I should do to know more about such sports, I have this in mind to be able to make some bets or gamble on such sports, my problem is I don't know how, if anyone is into such sports where should I begin? Any special UFC or Boxing platform where I can read news and updates about such sports?

How do you bet on such games? What are the things to be on the lookout for? Because I believe this is different from football ⚽, I also don't have access to satellite dish like my relative does, this is how he is able to get the best out of these sports.

what information can you give someone like me?
